Abstract

The tsunami that struck countries in the Indian Ocean region on 26 December 2004 caused severe damage to life and livelihood. The impact on fishing communities in affected countries was particularly severe. Apart from loss of life and injury, many households dependent on fisheries lost their houses, craft, gear, equipment and other means of livelihoods. Estimates indicated that damages to the fishing and aquaculture industry were substantial, to the order of US$568 mn in India, US$511 mn in Indonesia, US$335 mn in Sri Lanka, about US$139 mn in Thailand and about US$25 mn in Maldives.
